Locus Lake State Park, Pa

Anyone stay there? Dislikes? How many sites do they have with water and electricity, any site numbers? How about the shower facilities? It's just for an overnight stay. Thanks...

    Thank You, that was what I was looking for, it didn't seem real clear other than modern which to me includes water and electricity. Thks..
  • PA state parks only have electric no water on their sites. Look at the campground map and you can see the rv sites.
  • Been there but haven't stayed there, YET. One of these days. Go to the Pa State park website and check out Locust Lake. Map of campground has most of your answers.

    From the Pa State park website...

    Camping: flush toilets, warm showers, some electric hook-ups
    The 282 campsites are divided into tent or trailer sites that encircle the lake. Tenting is permitted on the north side of the lake and the trailer facilities are on the south side of the lake. All areas are within easy access to swimming, boating, fishing and hiking.

    All campsites are in a wooded area and have a parking pad, picnic table, fire ring and a cleared area for camping equipment. There are also a number of walk-in sites. Pets are permitted on designated sites.

    Campground conveniences include modern restrooms and washhouses with shower facilities. A sanitary dump station is on the trailer side of the lake. Trash/recycling areas are on the north and south sides of the lake.

    There are three play areas within the campgrounds. Two playgrounds are in the trailer loops and one is on the tent side of the lake. Playground equipment is designed for a variety of age groups.

  • Go on the PA web site for state parks. That should answer all your questions. Although I am originally from that area, I have only looked at Locust Lake SP on the web. Overnight spots in that area are pretty slim. Last trip out that way, we stayed at a small private RV park on Rt 895, just off Rt 309 west of Andreas, if I remember correctly, that place was named Locust Lake also.

    Correction: It is Laurel Lake Campground, just west of Snyders which is at the intersection of Routs 309 and 895.
